ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To determine the association of sleep with mental health among Hong Kong community-dwelling older men in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods:
This additional analysis was derived from the community-dwelling men aged >60 recruited during three COVID-19 outbreaks (i.e., pre-outbreak, between the second and third wave, and during the third wave) in Hong Kong from July 2019 to September 2020. Sleep and mental health were measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression models were performed for the associations between sleep and mental health after considering the outbreaks' impact.Results:
Subjects enrolled between the second and third wave tended to have better sleep but worse mental health. Positive associations between poor sleep and depression (AOR = 3.27, 95% CI 1.60-7.03) and anxiety (AOR = 2.40, 95% CI 1.07-5.76) were observed. The period "between second and third wave" was positively associated with depression (AOR = 2.65, 95% CI 1.22-5.83), showing an additive interaction with poor sleep.Conclusion:
The positive association between poor sleep and depression was aggravated by the period "between the second and third wave" among community-dwelling older males in Hong Kong.Keywords
